Tekken 6's Arcade Stick Edition Coming to Europe

New details have arrived today about Namco Bandai's Tekken 6 Arcade Stick Edition bundle. The famous fighting series is ramping up for the sixth console release and gamers (European gamers, specifically) will have three ways to buy the game for either Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

The most expensive and fantastical bundle is the Arcade Stick Edition, which will retail for around 150 GBP according to C&VG. Roughly converting to around $245, this package ships with an exclusive wireless Tekken 6 arcade fighting stick made by Hori.

The stick is available in two differently customized versions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Also included in the bundle is the game and a 100-page art book.

The cheaper 70 GBP ($114) Tekken 6 Collectors Edition ships out with the game, the art book, a poster and an exclusive Tekken 6 hoodie. Finally, the last Tekken 6 release is the standalone game.

There's no official word yet on a similar U.S. deal, but we expect to hear details soon.

Sweet, sweet wireless joy(stick)

Bryn says: What's the single most important question to come out of this announcement? Well, barring the steep price tag, surely the biggest unknown is if this sucker work with Street Fighter IV? I'm nearly 100 percent sure that it will, which means fighting aficionados who missed out on Capcom's limited edition fighting sticks will have a reasonable chance to get their hands on some solid hardware.
